Abstract [sv]

Året 2020 kommer att gå till historien som året då vi upplevde en global pandemi. Människor har hanterat pandemin på olika sätt, vilket visat sig genom känslorna de upplevt och vilket beteende de uppvisat. Känslor styrs av personlighet, vilket tagits an som syftet i föreliggande studie. Studien undersöker vilka människor som känner oro under pandemin, och vad de människorna oroar sig för under den pågående pandemin. En tvärsnittsstudie genomfördes med 569 respondenter (Åldersintervall 15 – 77 år, M = 38, SD = 12.77, 75.8% kvinnor, 24.2% män). Förväntat resultat var att neuroticism skulle vara en predicerande variabel för oro och att människor med mörka drag inte skulle känna oro i sammautsträckning som personer med neuroticism. Detta uppnåddes i studien, men med mindre tydliga resultat än väntat genom både korrelationsanalysen och de multiplaregressions analyserna. Det finns underlag för ytterligare forskning på ämnet med ett fokus på människor med mörka drag, vilket endast snuddats vid i föreliggande studie men som hade större relevans än vad som först antagits.

Abstract [en]

The year 2020 will go down in history as the year in which we experienced a global pandemic. People have coped with the pandemic in various ways, demonstrated through the emotions they have experienced and the behaviour they have exhibited. Feelings are governed by personality, which has been adopted as the purpose of the present study. The study examines who worries during the pandemic, and what those people worry about as the pandemic goes on. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 569 respondents (age interval 15 – 77 years, M = 38, SD =12.77, 75.8% women, 24.2% men). The expected result was that neuroticism would be a predictive variable for worrying and that people with dark personality traits would not feel worry to the same extent as people with neuroticism. This was achieved in the study, however with less apparent results on both the correlation analysis and the multiple regression analyzes. There is support for further research on the topic with a focus on people with dark traits, which was only touched upon in the present study and was much more relevant that was first presumed.
